"Lyre" is a painting that took me about a year to complete. I created the rough drawing last summer when I was going through a difficult time in my life but lacked inspiration and the mindset to finish it until now. So over time he has developed into a symbol of my past hardship and portrays the pain that I endured. Emo huh... Hand drawn, painted in Photoshop. The process took about 10 hours to complete over 12 months.

These are some small sketches that I did on my Nintendo DS when I was traveling. I just started using the application and am getting use to it quite quickly. It's really nice to have something portable like that to jot down simple ideas and drawings.

Wow, it’s done! It took so long to make that I lost track of the hours.

This piece is painted in Photoshop for a Square-Enix contest, so of course it is very Square-looking! I wanted to stay on model and use the palette that was previously established to make it feel like the same world.

He took about 4hrs to paint. I tried a different technique with this one, keeping the paint stokes really rough where details are not important.

Spring is coming again, but unfortunately it is cloudy outside my window today. Longingly, this image reminds me of the ocean with its soft colors. Maybe he is the sea personified, which definitely did not come to mind when I was creating the piece.
